Although Marvel Studios hasn’t officially announced Black Panther 3 as part of its upcoming slate, the current roster, which extends through 2026, includes films like Avengers: Doomsday and the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie. Additionally, Marvel Studios has two untitled films scheduled for 2027.
The last film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, explored the aftermath of King T’Challa’s death, as the nation of Wakanda grappled with the loss and sought to protect its resources and culture from external threats. Shuri, T’Challa’s sister, took on the main role as she navigated her grief, embraced her identity, and ultimately stepped into the mantle of the Black Panther.
At the end of the film, Marvel promised, “Black Panther will return.”
